Wheat futures closed Thursday with most contracts 6 to 7 cents lower. Weakness comes as the US was left out of the Egyptian tender on Wednesday, mainly due to a freight disadvantage. A higher US dollar and general selling in the grain complex also added pressure.

A South Korean importer purchased 65,000 MT of optional origin wheat in a tender on Wednesday. The EU awarded 718,000 MT of wheat imports under their import quota.
